Don’t Let Your Restaurant Be Invaded By Pests

For the majority of tourists, eating out is a way of life when wandering through beautiful Niagara. Taking in the sights, sounds, and the unique flavors of this vibrant city will leave you with a great lasting impression. However, how would you feel if you sat down for a lovely meal only to find an insect or any other type of pest in your meal?

Commercial pest control in Niagara is something that restaurant and business owners alike cannot take for granted. These pesky invaders can wreak havoc on your business, and your livelihood. Flies, rats, roaches, mice, and weevils are just some of the pests that are causing restaurant owners nightmares, damaging their hard-earned reputations and image, while exposing their customer’s to harmful bacteria and possible illness. Here we will take you through the top restaurant invaders, and how Truly Nolen pest control professionals are here to help.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches must be one of the vilest creatures that you could be associated with. These omnivorous scavengers feed on any organic matter, from decaying plant matter to human hair, and pose a massive health risk to human beings. They are vectors of disease that require a full suite service to fully rid your establishment of all traces of these disease-spreading machines. Their foul-smelling secretions and continued regurgitation of food can lead to cases of diarrhoea, gastroenteritis, asthma attacks, and allergic reactions.

Rodents

As long as there is food, warmth, and shelter readily available, keeping rodents out of your kitchen can be near impossible. Rodents can cause absolute havoc in a kitchen or stock room. Their destructive feeding habits, coupled with their aptitude for carrying germs and diseases cost the food services industry millions of dollar every year. The number of viruses and disease-causing bacteria that rodents can transmit to human is higher than was previously thought, thus posing a greater potential risk than originally thought.

Pantry Pests

Having a reliable and trustworthy commercial pest control service in Niagara is a must for any restaurant owner, as these pantry pests have been known to cause some of the biggest commercial problems to date. Their love for grains, flours, pasta, nuts, dried fruit, beans, spices, and potato chips means virtually anything is open season. Contaminating food with their feces, fluids, and the carcinogenic compounds in their webbing, these little critters are highly dangerous.

Flies

Flies and humans are inseparable, but not ideal in any restaurant or food service setting. They are also known to carry and spread over 100 viruses and bacteria and are known to be the cause of typhoid, cholera, dysentery, poliomyelitis, and hepatitis. Preventative measure includes caulking any outside access holes, regular cleaning, and removal of garbage, sealing of doors and windows with screens.
